Angels are alive here in Coeur d’Alene. On Jan. 1, my husband and I had parked to shop in a local store. While walking in the parking lot I slipped on ice. I knew something bad happened and I screamed for my husband, who had gone in a different direction.

Instead, a wonderful young man appeared and tried to help me. Then another young man came to help. Together these two young men lifted me into our car for a trip to the hospital ER.

I had two fractures and went into surgery. I am on the road to recovery. I just want to thank these two men who graciously let me scream in their ears! This is what is wonderful about our town. We have people who are willing to help when so badly needed. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
